Freshman path to FT PE
Curious to get more opinions on these options so far. I will be interning on the deal team at a PE shop w/ a multi-billion recent raise for freshman summer & interning at a solid BB in IBD for sophomore summer. If UMM/MF buy-side is my eventual goal - is there a clear-cut best path?
re-recruiting in IBD & do FT IBD stint
try and return to the PE firm I will be working at this summer
recruit for summer analyst MF positions, hoping for a return offer & possibly have to re-recruit for FT
From what I read on this board, all three are viable options for you, especially if you are a diversity candidate.
Do you go to a target? If you can land SA for MF PE, I'd take that - on the off chance you don't get an offer, you won't have a problem re-recruiting FT with that + the other two internships. Trying for MF PE during oncycle is a total crapshoot.
Yes, target & non-racial diversity but still diversity. From your perspective, would junior summer PE instead of IBD make it more difficult to recruit for FT elite boutiques?
Definitely not. Assuming you have a solid network, you will have options
Similar profile as u target/nondiv. BB IBD for soph and landed PE SA at MF. Best option if ur goal is the buyside imo
Do you happen to know the general FT offer % for those PE summer analyst spots?
Do you also know if these MF PEs for analysts are 2 and out usually? Or is there actually a path to senior levels at BX,KKR, etc? I’ve assumed the former but curious abt ur thoughts
these fuckin freshman make me feel so inadequate.
